Re: The "official" announcement of the movie title is next month.

Ok the discussion can end, but not without my last words. No fallouts here. I love a debate just for debate's sake. This place wouldn't be the same, if we all agreed. I'm here for the lulz. Pots are to be shaken, not stirred. You're doing it wrong TP

I thought I at least tried to show a different perspective to explain your conclusions. Two sides to every story. The answers aren't that simple if you consider the bigger picture.. Films are a team effort. Some people can perform well within the film despite the overall quality. Ticket sales are not quality barometers. The highest grossing films are likely to be or become other franchises with built in fan bases already established. Harry Potter, Twilight, Transformers, Comic book movies, Disney etc. People eat these up and the actors and films don't have to be good.

Haven't seen all the Craig films you listed, but I'm sure they all deserved their numbers. The don't even sound like good films. I just hope Craig didn't have any better options, because I'm not impressed with his selections.

No excuse for Craig, he has to make do with what movies he can get for his 15 minutes. Every Bond actor has faced these odds. None seemed to really make it outside during or after their runs either, except Connery.

So Craig is not a superstar to the masses. He still can be a solid actor at times. He has his niche. I can see him going back to his pre-Bond roots after trying the few lead roles he has available.

And TP it's only fair that you have to wait as long for Craig to leave as I did Dalton. Payback's a Dalton.

The fact that you are Happy, Sir Miles. Leaves me Very Unhappy. My Favourite Bond is the One that Dare not speak it's Name. But 77007 don't like him very Much. But I though everyone would know that, Doesn't Everyone Hang on my every Word ? Most of the Bonds have gone on to successful careers in Movies, None having the string of ( I'll be kind, in light of the new found feeling of Bond love and friendship wafting over AJB at the moment.) " Not as Successful as they Might of been projects " as the Lovely and Talented Mr Craig.I'll just Bide my time making small wooden Blonde Dolls and stick Pins in it on occasion and Of course the odd little rant and mild Mental Breakdown here, from time to time.

No...go on...tell me which one...

And as long as I can make one person unhappy - well, that just doubles my pleasure

Most have gone on to have mediocre movie careers....ALL have had some huge turkeys....

And it's about time DC had some love here....I still remember the months after his appointment to the role of Bond here at AJB....some people posted some nasty things about him, without giving him a chance...
